Lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis with acid catalysis selectively produces the useful chiral synthon 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene-4-one ((–)-levoglucosenone, LGO). In this report, LGO was used to prepare (3R,5S)-3-benzyl-5-(hydroxymethyl)-4,5-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, which is an intermediate used in the construction of antivirals including the protease inhibitor indinavir. To achieve the synthesis, the hydrogenated derivative of LGO was functionalised using aldol chemistry and various aromatic aldehydes were used to show the scope of the reaction. Choice of base affected reaction times and the best yields were obtained using 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine. Hydrogenation of the α-benzylidene-substituted bicyclic system afforded a 4 : 3 equatorial/axial mixture of isomers, which was equilibrated to a 97 : 3 mixture under basic conditions. Subsequent Baeyer–Villiger reaction afforded the target lactone in 57 % overall yield for four steps, a route that avoids the protection and strong base required in the traditional approach. The aldol route is contrasted with the α-alkylation and a Baylis–Hillman approach that also both start with LGO.

A green and efficient synthesis of the title compounds has been achieved in a one-pot, three-component reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes with methyl carbamate catalysed by p-toluenesulfonic acid in aqueous media to afford 4-aryl-3,4-dihydrochromeno[3,4-e][1,3]oxazine-2,5-diones in excellent yields. The salient features of this protocol are: short reaction times, high yields and absence of any hazardous organic solvent. Consequently, this procedure could be classified as green chemistry.

This study presents a simple highly versatile and efficient synthesis of various β-amino carbonyl compounds in the Mannich reaction of acetophenone with aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines in the presence of nanosulfated zirconia, nanostructured ZnO, nano-γ-alumina, and nano-ZSM-5 zeolites as the catalyst in ethanol at moderate temperature. The optical properties of the nanostructured organic molecules were studied. The advantages of methods are short reaction times, milder conditions, easy workup, and purification of products by nonchromatographic methods. The catalysts can be recovered for the subsequent reactions and reused without any appreciable loss of efficiency.

Abstract2-Amino-4-aryl-4H-benzo[h]chromenes and 3-amino-1-aryl-1H-benzo[f]chromenes were prepared by treating cyano-methylene compounds (malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate), substituted aromatic aldehydes, and naphtholic compounds in the presence of potassium phthalimide as a green, mild, efficient, and commercially available organocatalyst in aqueous media. The procedure was readily conducted and affords remarkable advantages such as safety, short reaction times, environmentally benign milder reaction conditions, no organic solvent required, and high yields.

AbstractAn efficient synthesis of hexahydro-4-phenylquinoline-3-carbonitriles is described by the four-component condensation reaction of cyclohexanone, ammonium acetate, malononitrile, and aromatic aldehydes using Fe3O4@SiO2-SO3H nanoparticles as a superior and retrievable heterogeneous catalyst under ultrasonic irradiations. The reusability of the catalyst and little catalyst loading, excellent yields, short reaction times, using the sonochemical procedure as a green process and an alternative energy source are some benefits of this method.

Background: In this study, we developed a convenient methodology for the synthesis of coumarin linked to pyrazolines and pyrano [2,3-h] coumarins linked to 3-(1,5-diphenyl-4,5- dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-chromen-2-one derivatives using Chlorosulfonic acid supported Piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (PPCA) functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-PPCA) catalyst. Materials and Methods:: Fe3O4-PPCA was investigated as an efficient and magnetically recoverable Nanocatalyst for the one-pot synthesis of substituted coumarins from the reaction of coumarin with a variety of aromatic aldehydes in high to excellent yield at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The magnetic nanocatalyst can be easily recovered by applying an external magnet device and reused for at least 10 reaction runs without considerable loss of reactivity. Results and Conclusion: The advantages of this protocol are the use of commercially available materials, simple and an inexpensive procedure, easy separation, and an eco-friendly procedure, and it shows good reaction times, good to high yields, inexpensive and practicability procedure, and high efficiency.

Background:A wide variety of biological activities are exhibited by N, O and S containing heterocycles and recently, many reports appeared for the synthesis of these heterocycles. The synthesis of heterocycles with the help of metal and non-metal catalyst has become a highly rewarding and important method in organic synthesis. This review article concentrated on the synthesis of S-heterocylces in the presence of metal and non-metal catalyst. The synthesis of five-membered S-heterocycles is described here.Objective:There is a need for the development of rapid, efficient and versatile strategy for the synthesis of heterocyclic rings. Metal, non-metal and organocatalysis involving methods have gained prominence because traditional conditions have disadvantages such as long reaction times, harsh conditions and limited substrate scope.Conclusion:The metal-, non-metal-, and organocatalyst assisted organic synthesis is a highly dynamic research field. For ßthe chemoselective and efficient synthesis of heterocyclic molecules, this protocol has emerged as a powerful route. Various methodologies in the past few years have been pointed out to pursue more sustainable, efficient and environmentally benign procedures and products. Among these processes, the development of new protocols (catalysis), which avoided the use of toxic reagents, are the focus of intense research.

AbstractA simple, straightforward, and ultrasound-promoted method for the preparation of some highly functionalized tetrahydropyridines reported via pseudo five-component reaction of (hetero)aromatic aldehydes, different anilines, and alkyl acetoacetates in the presence of [N-CH2CO2H-3-pic]+HSO4−, as a novel ionic liquid, in green aqueous medium. The IL was synthesized utilizing simple and easily-handled substrates and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, GC-MASS, FESEM, EDX, and TGA/DTG techniques. The procedure contains some highlighted aspects which are: (a) performing the MCR in the presence of aqua and sonic waves, as two main important and environmentally benign indexes in green and economic chemistry, (b) high yields of products within short reaction times, (c) convenient work-up procedure, (d) preparing the new IL via simple substrates and procedure.

: An efficient synthesis of 4-arylidene-3-alkylisoxazole-5(4H)-ones has been implemented via the three-component cyclocondensation of aryl(heteroaryl)aldehydes with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and β-ketoesters. The potassium 2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-1-ide has been introduced as the new organocatalyst to facilitate of this heterocyclization. In the current process, three starting materials, including substituted benzaldehydes/heterocyclic aromatic aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and ethyl acetoacetate/propyl acetoacetate/butyryl acetoacetate have been successfully used for the synthesize of the number of substituted isoxazole-5(4H)-ones in good to high yields in ethylene glycol as a green reaction medium at 80 ºC. The low catalyst loading is also a main advantage over the some reported catalysts.
